Character Property in the Heart of Unspoiled Estate

Situated in a tranquil valley and echoing with the sounds of the countryside, this exceptional 1850 property—originally an annex of a local Abbey—offers a rare and authentic living experience. Located along the winding road to Montagne Noire, the estate is surrounded by lush meadows and shaded woods, creating a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.

From the moment you arrive, a grand tree-lined driveway guides you to a charming ensemble where stone, wood, and light combine to evoke warmth and timelessness. The 345 sqm manor house, carefully maintained over the years, exemplifies country living with its spacious, welcoming interiors.

On the ground floor, the living spaces are elegant and practical: a large dining room, a living room featuring a Gard stone fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops, and a cosy winter lounge with a library and fireplace. Two additional bedrooms and a wine cellar add to the level’s practicality and charm.

Upstairs, accessible via a beautiful chestnut staircase with wrought iron details, the rooms extend across multiple wings, each radiating character and comfort. The master bedroom, with its French-style ceilings and fireplace, overlooks the pool and gardens, while a special room called "The Chapel", illuminated by arched windows, invites reflection or leisure. Several bedrooms, suites, and additional spaces offer versatile options for families or guests.

The use of noble materials, exposed beams, wooden floors, and wrought ironwork enhances the manor’s authentic charm.

Outside, the outbuildings form a private hamlet, including an 85 sqm independent house with a wood-burning stove, ideal for private retreats; a 99 sqm rural gîte prepared for a tourism business with four bedrooms and inviting living areas; a 14 sqm space for a discreet hideaway; and a 72 sqm former stable, suitable for equestrian or craft pursuits. A large 134 sqm attic with a striking timber frame offers excellent conversion potential. Additional garages, workshops, and storage spaces further enrich the property.

Nature is front and centre here. The 23-hectare estate combines meadows and woods, offering endless outdoor activities. A discreetly integrated swimming pool invites relaxation in the southern sun, while a vegetable garden, terraces, a wooded park with a children’s play area, and ample parking enhance the tranquil lifestyle.

Located just 6 minutes from local shops, supermarkets, and services, and 25 minutes from Carcassonne and its international airport, the property combines convenience with privacy.
